Re: so i made a break

So you have two options:

1. Either make the breaks so amazing that I forget you're even using them or until they don't even sound like the same drum snare in every car commercial over the last 4 years

2. Try out some different breaks. Give other percussion samples a go. There's plenty out there and there's no reason you shouldn't be using them! Make your own samples. Take a mic and hit random **** in your house. Your artist ability is limited to what you choose to do.

The main issue is that Type A isn't even your song, so that leaves the percussion up to your integrity. If you can't make it any more exciting, structured and dynamic then I and potentially many many other musicians won't take your stuff seriously.

Re: so i made a break

actually .. i think you need more amen break .. at least a cleaner sample. BUT if you want a better break to use I honestly recommend Apache or the Funky drummer ... funky drummer is your standard jungle break, but only because the snare in the funky drummer is SO amazingly hot.. If you really want to get serious you can start mixing breaks and pull single hits from various drum loops.

example.

kick drum from the think.

snare from the funky drummer

hats and crash from the amen

bongos from the apache ( for flavAH!)

then if you want to get that real breakcore/idm sound. take quick 808 kick and pitch it up about 12-20 semitones and throw some flowing pitch shifts on a 32nd roll.



hope this helps


inb4 ipatch yelling at me for encouraging amen use.

Re: so i made a break

there's nothing technically wrong with amen break, but unless you really go all out on it and make it completely "out there", it's very bland.

well yeah, obviously you're not going to use the standard amen lol

I would like it more if you sped up the tetris part of the song by like, TWO TIMES (I'm crazy, I love crazy fast songs) and sped up the breaks by a little more. Then add a crazy Electric guitar/bass and piano into it and make it supa crazy!!!!11!1!one!

Lol, i don't know what I'm talking about. Do what you want (:
